What is a backup code?

A backup code are 8 digit codes that come to your rescue when you are unable to perform account verification using codes via text or voice call. Every time a set of 10 codes are generated on your account page. They remain active until you generate the next time.

These codes are one time usable. That means you get to use them 10 times, a new one each time of-course!
